Thanksgiving morning was slow and lazy, then we made our way over to Cracker Barrel for a 8.00 thanksgiving feast with our dear friends Brady and Emilie. We were really surprised at the amount of people who had the same idea... I guess not cooking on thanksgiving day sounds equally appealing to a lot of people. I know I enjoyed it.

for all you boys out there, this is what you look like when you play video games. |
After lunch we went back to our place for the making of oreo balls, and the eating of pumpkin pie. When we got bored with being lazy we took a drive up Paris Mountain for the view (i think we might have interrupted a couples alone time in their car), and we went over to Target to join in the shopping craziness just for fun. I bought some wrapping paper. I know. Hardcore.
Black friday was another slow morning with pancakes for breakfast, christmas shopping, and movie going with our faithful buddies, Em and Brady.
Emilie and I definitely went and saw Twilight, and I'm not ashamed of it. Going before 5 is the best time to go to the theater, watching Edward Cullen, Bella Swan, and Jacob Black was that much more enjoyable with the old ladies and Em to keep me company. (best movie of the saga, by the way).

Look at those two crazy kids, and that crazy cat . |
We went and got our tree saturday :)
Oh I can't even explain how much I love christmas trees. I get very attached to them. I'll always remember our first little christmas tree from the Lowes. So many memories are attached to every tree I've had over all the years I remember, and I know some of the best memories will latch onto this one.
Arlo loves the tree too. At first he kinda hated it...and was in awe of it. Now they're best buds. He sits in it, chews on it, shares its water, lays under it, and uses it as his prime hiding spot, just waiting for our legs to walk past so he can pounce. Yup. Best friends.
Sunday was the laziest day yet.
we.did.nothing.
I wasn't feeling the best, so we stayed in, watched movies, I watched Cory play video games, made some homemade decorations, and taco chili for dinner.
We both REALLY needed that 4 day weekend. And now I am in mourning for it. Ahhhhhh school is so much easier than working. I'm telling ya kids, enjoy your school days.
Is it Christmas yet?
No just kidding. The days leading up to Christmas are even better then the actual day in my opinion.
I'm just gonna leave you with this super cute picture of Arlo contemplating life.
Happy week guys.
